After I said Andrew made a mistake, you said: "You sincerely think this was just a mistake? The selective editing wasn't designed to demonize an innocent woman?" strongly implying Andrew did the editing. Which he did not.

I have since said that I find it easy to believe that Andrew himself was not an expert at Final Cut Pro. Now if you know how this episode came to pass, please share that knowledge. Don't hide your light under a bushel.

I appreciate the clarification. Why do you think he passed it on without contacting Sherrod or the NAACP or the Department of Agriculture for comment?

Do you think someone who was motivated to show their particular audience "reverse racism" might be more likely to get sloppy when such an opportunity seemingly arose?

You can always make up motives when you really really want to. What motives should I make up for
@HeerJeet saying O'Keefe was responsible, or your implication that Andrew edited the video? Are you anti-white racists?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

My guess is that Heer confused this incident with other incidents involving rightwing videos that were selectively edited by O'Keefe. That doesn't strike me as sinister. Pretty normal, really.

It's nice to know that you can attribute non-sinister motives to a mistake.

There's a difference between conflating memories in a tweet and launching a dishonest campaign with many articles to destroy a woman's career.
